I am one of those people who can only learn things by doing them, and finds it 
very hard to grasp things from reference materials. The Django documentation is 
excellent on the latter, but not quite so good on the tutorials that would 
guide me through doing things in a way that will help me learn.

I've made a couple of tutorial contributions so far (which if I am honest 
simply reflect the steps I took when I was learning the topic). They are the 
testing tutorial <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5//intro/tutorial05/> and 
a uWSGI/nginx tutorial, which though it may not be quite right for the Django 
docs has gone into the uWSGI docs.

I'd like to contribute more tutorials to the documentation, and since the next 
thing I need to get to grips with is logging I will write my own notes so I 
remember how to do it, and I could create a tutorial for it.

Would that be useful for the documentation? I realise that a tutorial is always 
going to be a partial and incomplete introduction to a subject, but newcomers 
need to start with something concrete, and it gives them some purchase on the 
reference material that is already provided.

Are there other topics that really ought to have tutorials written for them?
